Closing Down the Casino Lyrics

Sweet demise is charting high with no explanation at all

'69 wouldn't stay behind to watch the good times fall

It was the event of the year and having you here

Would've made my top 100, but you only carry 50 dollar bills like you want to give me up

Can't you tell by the sign I can't offer you much luck?

Darlin', please don't go they're closing down the casino

But you can come home with me

And I promise I won't leave in the morning when your pockets are all empty

And every ace has fallen out your sleeve

They're closing down the casino

But you can still bet

Bet on me

It's always been uncertain business

Funny isn't it?

Now it's lost the humor

Cheap escape built on spare change and a quickly spreading rumor

I'm the purest gold that you'll ever hold

In your contradicting hands that grab at the strangest things that I've learned to find funny

We'd like to keep this thing going, but we seem to lack the money

Darlin', please don't go they're closing down the casino

But you can come home with me

And I promise I won't leave in the morning when your pockets are all empty

And every ace has fallen out your sleeve

They're closing down the casino

But you can still bet

Bet on me

They say welcome to the gaming hall

Say hello to strategies and playing fees with no cause

Causing the worst kind of rage

When the seemingly unsettled have all settled down

And the chandeliers were no more than a crystal cage

Ain't it strange, ain't it strange?

Darlin', please don't go they're closing down the casino

But you can come home with me

And I promise I won't leave in the morning when your pockets are all empty

And every ace has fallen out your sleeve

They're closing down the casino

But you can still bet

Bet on me
